2008-12-04 | * Dirty hack to make nix-push work properly on derivations: the | Eelco Dolstra | |
derivation should be a source rather than a derivation dependency of the call to the NAR derivation. Otherwise the derivation (and all its dependencies) will be built as a side-effect, which may not even succeed. | |||
2008-12-03 | * addToStore() in nix-worker: don't write the NAR dump received from | Eelco Dolstra | |
the client to a temporary directory, as that is highly inefficient. | |||
2008-12-03 | * A simple API for parsing NAR archives. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2008-12-03 | * Backwards compatibility. | Eelco Dolstra | |

2008-12-03 | * Pass HashType values instead of strings. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2008-12-03 | * Made addToStore() a lot more efficient: it no longer reads the path | Eelco Dolstra | |
being copied 3 times in the worst case. It doesn't run in constant space, but it didn't do that anyway. | |||
2008-12-03 | * Unify the treatment of sources copied to the store, and recursive | Eelco Dolstra | |
SHA-256 outputs of fixed-output derivations. I.e. they now produce the same store path: $ nix-store --add x /nix/store/j2fq9qxvvxgqymvpszhs773ncci45xsj-x $ nix-store --add-fixed --recursive sha256 x /nix/store/j2fq9qxvvxgqymvpszhs773ncci45xsj-x the latter being the same as the path that a derivation derivation { name = "x"; outputHashAlgo = "sha256"; outputHashMode = "recursive"; outputHash = "..."; ... }; produces. This does change the output path for such fixed-output derivations. Fortunately they are quite rare. The most common use is fetchsvn calls with SHA-256 hashes. (There are a handful of those is Nixpkgs, mostly unstable development packages.) * Documented the computation of store paths (in store-api.cc). | |||
2008-11-29 | * Install the release notes. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2008-11-26 | * Moved the build farm job for building Nix to the Nix tree. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2008-11-25 | * Ignore carriage returns. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2008-11-25 | * Handle prematurely ended logfiles, i.e. make sure we emit enough | Eelco Dolstra | |
close tags. | |||
2008-11-20 | * Bump the version number. | Eelco Dolstra | |

2008-11-20 | * Blindly doing a replacement of occurences of $bindir (when running | Eelco Dolstra | |
the tests) is a bad idea when $bindir = /usr and some programs (like perl) live there. Fortunately it doesn't seem to be needed anymore. | |||
2008-11-20 | * Don't set the prefix to /nix by default, rather use the Autoconf | Eelco Dolstra | |
default of /usr/local. However, localstatedir and storedir are set to /nix/var/nix and /nix/store respectively unless they're explicitly overriden. | |||
2008-11-20 | * Nix daemon: reload the configuration file after forking (NIX-100). | Eelco Dolstra | |

2008-11-19 | * Primop builtins.storePath for declaring a store path as a | Eelco Dolstra | |
dependency. `storePath /nix/store/bla' gives exactly the same result as `toPath /nix/store/bla', except that the former includes /nix/store/bla in the dependency context of the string. Useful in some generated Nix expressions like nix-push, which now finally does the right thing wrt distributed builds. (Previously the path to be packed wasn't an explicit dependency, so it wouldn't be copied to the remote machine.) | |||
2008-11-19 | * Patterns. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2008-11-19 | (no commit message) | Eelco Dolstra | |
2008-11-19 | * Updated the manual. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2008-11-19 | * Files in the info directory starting with "." are temporary files | Eelco Dolstra | |
and don't indicate path validity. | |||
2008-11-19 | * nix-store --dump-db: be more streamy. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2008-11-19 | * Documented some of the sharing mechanisms. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2008-11-19 | * Install documentation in $(docdir) (i.e. share/doc/nix). | Eelco Dolstra | |
2008-11-19 | * Removed obsolete option. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2008-11-19 | * Remove references to Berkeley DB, including most of the | Eelco Dolstra | |
troubleshooting section. W00t. | |||
2008-11-19 | * Release notes. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2008-11-18 | * Get rid of nix-pack-closure / nix-unpack-closure, they're redundant. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2008-11-14 | * Prevent zombies. Previous the SIGCHLD handler only reaped one | Eelco Dolstra | |
zombie at a time, so if multiple children died before the handler got to run, some of them would not be cleaned up. | |||
2008-11-14 | * Restore SIGPIPE to SIG_DFL when running the builder. This prevents | Eelco Dolstra | |
subtle and often hard-to-reproduce bugs where programs in pipes either barf with a "Broken pipe" message or not, depending on the exact timing conditions. This particularly happened in GNU M4 (and Bison, which uses M4). | |||
2008-11-12 | * Some somewhat ad hoc mechanism to allow the build farm to monitor | Eelco Dolstra | |
build progress. | |||
2008-11-11 | * Pass the --no-build-output flag to the daemon. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2008-11-11 | * Add /dev/pts to the default nix.conf. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2008-11-11 | * Typo. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2008-10-29 | * Put the chroots under /nix/var/nix/chroots to reduce the risk of | Eelco Dolstra | |
disasters involving `rm -rf' on bind mounts. Will try the definitive fix (per-process mounts, apparently possible via the CLONE_NEWNS flag in clone()) some other time. | |||
2008-10-16 | libstore: Always mount `/dev/pts' individually. | Ludovic Courtès | |
This fixes problems such as Tcl's PTY handling: ERROR: The system has no more ptys. Ask your system administrator to create more. | |||
2008-10-16 | * Bug fix for building on some old installations (contributed by Pjotr). | Eelco Dolstra | |
2008-09-18 | * Fix `--from-profile'. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2008-09-17 | * GC option `--max-atime' that specifies an upper limit to the last | Eelco Dolstra | |
accessed time of paths that may be deleted. Anything more recently used won't be deleted. The time is specified in time_t, e.g. seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC; use `date +%s' to convert to time_t from the command line. Example: to delete everything that hasn't been used in the last two months: $ nix-store --gc -v --max-atime $(date +%s -d "2 months ago") | |||
2008-09-17 | * Typo. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2008-09-17 | * Some refactoring. Better output with `-v' for --use-atime. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2008-09-17 | * nix-store --gc / --delete: show how many store paths were deleted. | Eelco Dolstra | |
